Chili Garlic 'Broken Fridge' Chicken

Simple, quick and easy chicken stir fry that delivers loads of flavour. Juicy chicken stir fried with garlic, dried chilies and umami seasoning, served with rice. It's what I made when I ended up without a fridge for weeks!

Hello Pailin, I am from Switzerland and I would like to compliment you on your Channel, your recipies and your tips and hacks. As you can imagine obtaining all the ingredients for your recipies is not easy here. Have to buy most of it online. But that aside I have alredy made a lot of your Recipies and I cannot believe how good they are. You are a genius at cooking. But the best thing I have learnt here is how to eat Thai food. Instead of smothering the food in the sauce like westerners do, just put the rice in a bowl and spoon in a little bit of the sauce at a time. Doing it this way I can manage the spiceyness a whole lot better. Yesterday I made Tamarind Shrimp with 2 green and 2 red Thai chilliess and cannot remember ever having a better dinner. Thank you and keep cooking.

Love the gems of wisdom and hacks I learn from this channel! I used to think for a meal to be good I had to make it the traditional way that my mom cooks. While that is all well and good and has its place, it’s very time consuming and sometimes you put in so much effort and it’s not worth all the trouble. I’ve truly learned so many ways to think about cooking with what I have, how to pair certain ingredients and techniques to make a tasty meal and adapt it in all kinds of ways from these videos. Thanks as always for sharing your wisdom, can’t wait to try this with the pork i have in my freezer right now!

this may sound weird but i think this may be myu favourite recipe of yours, it's so simple yet undeniably delicious, and for me the use of chilli flake makes it less thai but universal somehow. Absolutely love it.

I’m always so happy to see a new recipe from you.

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GOOD RECIPE FOR OUR FAMILY.

I woke up early this morning and realized I was very hungry. As luck would have it, I had just about all the ingredients for this, so this was _very_ well-timed! Only thing I didn't have was oyster sauce (I can't find a brand I like here) so I just substituted some more fish sauce.

This sounds like the perfect solution for my next "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" dinner (my son, who visits once a week, loves spicy food, I'm middle of the road, and my husband's idea of spice is adding pepper!). Thank you, Pailin❣

Fabulous! Everyone who cooks most of their meals needs a roster of recipes for dishes we can whip up quickly just out of the freezer and storecupboard, and yet doesn't compromise on health or taste (because there's no point cooking something the fam won't eat or is bad for them). Not many recipes can do that – but this one ticks all the boxes! I'm saving this recipe 🤩😍💖

My mom somehow managed during the spring time with no refrigerator or freezer. I would love to give you my refrigerator! How frustrating seriously utility issues here but resourcefulness is the best! I got pretty ambitious with fire in the house got to be careful 🤯 thanks for the enthusiasm because pretty much the chicken looks great but your smile is priceless❤

Nothing better than to wake up on a Saturday morning With a new video .. 🎉 thank you 🙏

Yesterday I cooked chicken with almost similar ingredients. There was chicken leftover in my fridge that already marinated with pre-made spice mix, and I cut it into bite size. I coated the chicken with some corn starch, so it was like chicken popcorn. For the "sauce", I used just garlic and a handful of bird's eye chili and ginger. I chop them finely and stir fry. I added fish sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce, but I didn't add water. The sugar caramelized perfectly so the sauce stick to the chicken, but it wasn't sweet at all. I added lime juice to balance the flavor 😋

That does look delicious! I love how simple it is.... Thank You Pai

My fridge isn't broken, but I have all the stuff.

[colbygill]

Your chilli garlic noodles is one of my most-cooked dishes, it is absolutely amazing. Which reminds me, I am out of my homemade chilli powder so I will have to make some more 😊

[IvanValerioCortesi]

My hubby and my self we are hungry again... my God looks so good, again thank you for your video

[VicBattlefield]

Sawaddee krup Khun Pailin! I always put stuff that needs refrigerating out on the balcony in winter when it’s cold outside. And now that it’s pretty cold here in Europe I always cool my beverages, fruits and veggies out there when my tiny fridge gets too full. Thank you for the recipe!😉

[Liftinglinguist]

I do a variant of this, where I don't add sugar, but put in lemon curd instead. Simple but flavorful!

Chili garlic chicken looks really delicious

[bkm]

Looks delicious Pailin, didn’t know you could purchase mild chili flakes, I thought there was only one level of heat, learned something new😉. Sorry your fridge is down, went through the same thing twice, they make them poorly these days which is so wrong. Hope it’s fixed or replaced by this posting. Thank you for another tasty recipe.💕👍

Two weeks with a broken fridge. I thought that condition was reserved for where I live... beyond the outskirts of the boonies. I'm going to try your recipe! It looks like a minimal-fuss affair! BTW... since I have an electric stove, I bought one of those single-burner butane/propane burners. Highly recommended for electric-bound folks. It's the perfect thing for wok-ing. Cheers!
